Scratching the Chalkboard: Tessmann, Acosta and Ricaurte lead from the midfield.

Earlier I wrote about the confusion of utilizing Thiago Santos and Bryan Acosta together in the midfield. Individually they both seemingly bring complementary skill sets to the table but for some odd reason their thinking and reading of the game is too similar for them to protect the backline in any meaningful way. Instead of continuing down that path, Luchi Gonzalez has seemed to figure things out in the most non-traditional way.

Triple Pivot 2.0

This is definitely not the right definition of the three man midfield set up that Luchi has deployed now, but I’m out of fancy names - so deal with it.
